‘Quinn said Tuesday that contrary to a report in The Buffalo News, Pegula has not signed such a document to purchase the NHL team from majority owner Tom Golisano.

‘Myers did not take the ice for the warmup and it was announced just before faceoff he was a scratch for the first time during his two seasons after playing 117 consecutive games. Ruff said Myers told him after the morning skate he wasn’t feeling well. The coach didn’t know what Myers’ status would be for tonight. "I don’t think it’s likely," Ruff said.’

‘"I have to be able to get these guys the puck," Niedermayer said of Vanek and Ennis. "They’re both creative players offensively. You lose a guy like Derek who has been so consistent, it’s up to you be big and take the responsibility for everyone."’

‘”But I’m having a good time in Buffalo. It’s a good family city for my wife, my kids and myself. A good hockey town. Of course it’s not as crazy as here, but it’s been a good transition to finally settle down, buy a home, put the kids in school and know they’re going to be there for a little bit. It’s comfortable, and that makes it easier to play.”‘
